A FOOLS PHILOSOPHY.
Some CONCLUSIONS Whose Elaboration II
quired Bushels of Thought.

Some CONCLUSIONS Whose Elaboration Re-
quired Bushels of Thought.
A lantern is better than no fire on
cold day.
The man who boasts of his war re-
cord howls the loudest when he is wear
ing a mustard plaster.
He who points with pride to his re-
cord generally makes for an alley when
he sees the grocer coming.
The man who is willing to show the
editor how to run his paper has gener-
ally failed at every thing he tried.
The biggest fool on earth is the young
man who throws up situation where
he makes eight dollars a week to sell
patent machines on a commission.
The next biggest is the one who sends
long article signed ''Citizen" to the
papers and expects to see it printed.
The writer of this is always glad and
happy because he knows that he is q
fool and does not try to conceal the
fact; all other people imagine they are
smarter or more beautiful than their
neighbors, and thus they are miserable
because their neighbors don't agree
with them.
A very grotesque fool is the young
man who buys red lemonade at the
circus when there is hydrant within
block.
1t is strange, but true, that the polit-
est man at the festival is the greatest
hog at home.
Nero was great man; so was Bona
parte; but greater than either of them is
the man who can sit down on hand
full of fish-hooks and say that it is nice
day.
The young man who asks hotel
keeper if he can have home comforts at
his house is too fresh for this world.
He should be turned over to pickle
manufacturer.
The merchant who will never adver-
tise in newspaper is the one who sends
out a man with bucket of yellow paint
to decorate the fences. And the man
goes to sleep and spills the paint on his
overalls, and that is one reason why !
think that the Foolkiller has but fairly
started with his labors. Louis

Cigars and Coffee.

"a cigar tastes best when accom-
panied by cup of aromatic coffee after
a luxurious repast" most smokers will
say. Speaking in the abstract, the
coffee does not enhance the cigar, nor
vice versa, but the fact is that nature
gives a hint how to counteract injurious
effects upon the gustatory nerves. 1t is
the demonstration of the homeopathic
"Similia similibus curantur"-one mar
cotic poison destroying another. The
stimulating potency of the caffeine over
comes. or at least paralyses, the pros
trating power of nicotine, and it is the
fight between these two powerful sgen-
cies which imparts to the observer IN
whose system the battle is raging that
degree Of contemplstive comfort which
is the desiderstum of every smoker

And when lessons all were done,

When tired of work, she prayerful sghs:
Now lay me down to sleep"
And watched the moon and shining star
From her neat but homely bed,
And thought Of loving friends afar
While resting her weary head.
Till sleep at last her eyelids close
She dreamed that the sunsets glow
In wondrous pillows fell and rose
Like molten rivers flow;
Then started, for glare was shed

Soon clothed she ran and found the racks
Where Bright and Champion stand,
She nings the harness on their backs,
Then on to the prairie land.

The fire comes leaping near,
The sod beneath her guidance yields,
The horses snort with fear.

With strength of will, If fragile hand,
